SPECT scans (a la Dr. Amen of USA) in Bangkok or...?

Does any psychiatry practice in Thailand or region use this as a diagnostic tool? Amen Clinic recognizes SPECT scans done within very specific parameters and particular machines. Perhaps a Thai, Malaysian, Singaporean or Indian clinic is using this as a medical tourism drawing card.

The concept, if controversial, is appealing - LOOK at brain activity instead of guessing based on symptom clusters. This way therapy and pharmaceuticals etc can be targeted better.

I am not aware of any place in Thailand doing this. Psychiatric services are not one of Thai medicine's stronger points.

Siriraj Hospita has capacity to do SPECT but has not done so for the purpose you mention.
